Hidden songs keep showing up despite being hidden

I have hidden tracks that I no longer want to appear in my purchases. The artist no longer shows up in the purchased list, only in the hidden purchases list, and yet a few tracks still show up on my iPhone (but not my iTunes). I have gone into the Music settings on my phone and unselected "Show All Music" - so most of my iTunes purchases don't show, but a few random tracks (both hidden and unhidden) still show. I really don't want these to show on my phone, and have no clue how to get rid of them. Any one have any ideas? Thank you.

The tracks that still show have been downloaded to your phone. I solved this by clearing the music off my iPhone. This will remove the tracks you want and also the tracks you do not want. You will need to manually add those tracks back to your iPhone.
Unfortunately I haven't figured out a way to keep tracks I've hidden off my iPhone and still play the tracks I do want access to. The only other option I know is subscribing to iTunes Match at $24.99 per year in order to delete content I no longer want... and I will not be paying Apple money for that privilege.
Its maddening, undesireable, and iTunes will remain unuseable until hidden purchases are hidden across each idevice.

Purchased songs keep showing up after being unchecked and deleted on iTunes library and iPhone, please help

Like the question says, I have about 6 or 7 songs that I want to permanently delete from my iTunes library and iPhone. They keep showing up even after I've unchecked/deleted them. I've used the manual option and selected the artists, genres, etc. that I still want, but the deleted songs keep appearing. I bought these songs off of the iTunes store I didn't use my iPhone. I don't have the iTunes Match option turned on my phone, nor do I use iCloud. I don't know what else to do besides manually selecting all of my songs and putting them into a folder, deleting the blasphemous songs that I don't want anymore, deleting my iTunes library and resetting my iPhone and copying the songs from the folder back into my iTunes library. But has anyone else had this happen to them? I've had an iPod for years now and I've never had this issue before. I'd really like an easier solution here, so does anyone have any ideas?

The solution is Simple.
- Goto preferences
- From there select the 'Devices' tab
- Now make click the check box close to 'Prevent iPods,iPhones..... from syncing automatically.
Click OK and your problem will be solved.

Deleted songs keep showing up on iPhone 5c

So I finally did a rehaul of my music on my iphone. I had erased all the music and manually added 270 songs to my phone. Only problem is 65 songs that I did NOT want on my phone keep showing up... and some aren't even on my computer in my itunes! When I plug in my phone to sync and manually delete the songs, they aren't there, yet they still are on my phone. These songs are NOT in my cloud, and cannot be manually deleted on my iphone 5c. I am running on iOS 7.1.1. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Paul_ie86,
Try cleaning up your player. Boot the ZEN X-Fi from the recovery mode (instructions can be found here) and select Clean Up->Reboot. See if that helps.
Btw, welcome to Creative forums!

Deleted songs keep showing up when iPhone shows up in iTunes.

I deleted all my music to get rid of this album that I purchased on my phone. It has been added twice but it keeps showing up everytime I plug it into itunes. It is not on my phone. It just keeps the grayed out circles but never ads it. Any suggestions on how to permanetly delete it?

That's happening to me, too. Apparently, it's a problem with the update. I have been talking with an apple tech supervisor. he is nice, but has no suggestions. i went to the "genus" bar at the apple store. The "genus" there said to live with it, get a new phone, or just wait for a patch--which he admitted may never happen.
I have gone to my email acct. and i delete all the messages in it twice a day. it's a pain, but it keeps all of those messages coming through. have you found a solution?

Song is not authorized despite being purchased in iTunes store

i have a number of songs that i purchased which are not authorized to play on my computer despite its being authorized. i have followed the posted fixes on the support site but no dice. any ideas?

I can confirm, both of my AppleTV legacies running 3.0.2 needed to make a new purchase to authorize purchases made from iTunes directly. My AppleTV 2 does not have this problem. It appears a patch is needed for the legacy AppleTVs to properly authorize with the new iCloud infrastructure. The work around is to make new purchases from your AppleTV legacy, and sync back to iTunes.

Songs keep showing up on iPhone

In trying to figure out another issue (playlists not being synced correctly on my iPhone), I attempted to clear the music from my phone completely. I have unchecked the sync music box on iTunes, I have selected the manually manage music option, I have restarted and reset my iPhone, and yet there are songs (approximately 800 or so out of a library of about 1100) showing on my iPhone. To complicate matters, when I threw in the towel and just decided to go ahead and reload everything as it was, iTunes would not sync all of my music because there wasn't enough space. Evidently, it sees the 800+ songs on there and apparently thinks I am trying to add my entire playlist to that - or at least that's my best guess. Thus, the too little space warning. *** is going on with my iPhone/iTunes and can I ever get them to behave normally again? Thanks.

The solution is Simple.
- Goto preferences
- From there select the 'Devices' tab
- Now make click the check box close to 'Prevent iPods,iPhones..... from syncing automatically.
Click OK and your problem will be solved.

I have random songs keep showing up in my purchased folder that I didn't purchase

I was listening to my music on my iPhone the other day when this song I never heard of starting playing. When I looked in my app it showed the iCloud icon. I then chekced my purchases tab anad there are at least 30 songs in the iCloud that I have not purchased nor would want to purchase. I now have at least one of these songs on each of my iPhone and iPad.
Houw do I get these off the iCloud and how do I get these off my devices? And why would these songs be in my iCloud when I did not buy them? This is a little concerning to me.

Does anyone else, family member perhaps, have access to your itunes account? Sounds like someone does. You might consider changing the password to the account.
To change your password go to

Birthday Reminders still showing up despite being unticked? (Outlook Calender)

Hi, I have my Windows 8.1 Outlook calender synced with my iPhone (linked through my hotmail address). The reminders for one always show up on the other when they are synced and on wifi which is great. However there is one main problem. The birthday calender under the outlook section and also under the main section are unticked. But I still seem to get notifications at midday every day about whos birthday it is the following day. This is annoying as my outlook is linked to everything, i.e multiple inboxes and facebook etc so I get a notification from pretty much every single contact I have. This also is annoying when using siri to create and event as at the end he will say 'there are already 7 events lined up for today which overlap do you wish for me to proceed'. That 7 being the birthday reminders. I dont know if this is a small glitch or what but it is starting to get really annoying. Any advice would be great!
Thanks.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

The missing apps could have been done by setting the Restrictions that can hid those apps. If the backup was made with those retrictions set the the Restrictions are also restored.
Thus, if you get it to work restore to factory settings/new iPod, not from backup

How do I transfer songs from my ipod mini to my computer or to my itunes library? Songs/playlists show up as being on ipod but cant move to itunes library.

How do I transfer songs from my ipod mini to either my computer or to my itunes library.

Hello Christopher,
There are 2 ways to go about this. One is to use the manual method which is a little different depending on whether or not you use a Mac or a PC or you can opt to use a 3rd party software that can help you accomplish the task as well. See this older thread for a list of possible software you could use.

The hidden files on my macbook air keep showing up!

The hidden files on my macbook air keep showing up! I use different methodes to hide them, but every time, out of the blue, all those horrible 'windows like' .docs show up. I used Paralles 5 (have deleted it - no change), even updated to Lion, no change.. Deleted MacFuse.. no change... I suspected ThinkerTool, but also that one is gone... Files most of the time show as soon as I open a desktop folder... HELP anyone??

Dear People,
After month I'm still struggeling. Like I said, it is not just a replace True with False sollution. When I hide the 'hidden files' and I copy a file to my desktop, the screen flashes and boom... there are my hidden files again.
I can keep on hiding them, but they will keep showing up.... what to do?

HT1386 Why is it that even though I've deleted all the songs on my ipod, the songs still show up in gray letters in spite on not being able to hear them..

Why is it that even though I've deleted all the songs on my ipod, the songs still show up in gray letters in spite on not being able to hear them.

First of all, try another port on your computer. Some ports are not connected direct to the motherboard and do not recognize the iPod as well as those that are. Reset the iPod each time you connect it to another port.
Still no joy, see these.

Why does the newest FF keep me signed in to websites when I log off despite being set to full time "private browsing"? This is a real problem on a shared computer!

Despite being set to full time "Private" mode, this latest version of FF keeps me logged into things like ebay etc.
This has never happened with previous versions and is a real problem.
